Reporter: What are the next priorities of the blockchain special committee?
Zhu Youping: Previously, the blockchain special committee had done a lot of work on the knowledge popularization of blockchain and the theoretical construction of chain reform. At the same time, some chain reform pilot projects have also appeared one after another, but overall, they are primitive and small in scale, especially the projects that empower traditional enterprises are not many. Changing this situation is the heavy responsibility of the blockchain special Committee. As the new rotating chairman, the next work focus of the blockchain special committee is to further promote chain reform actions, foster chain reform projects, focus on chain reform of traditional enterprises and industries, and support and serve knowledge, theory, creativity, consultation, evaluation and other aspects.
Reporter: You set 2022 as the "New Year of Chain Reform". Why?
Zhu Youping: Chain reform means using blockchain and other technologies to transform traditional industries. In September 2021, the "coin circle mining circle" was completely banned in China, which marked that the chain reform 3.0 entered the promotion stage, and the use of blockchain to empower the real economy was the final way out. Therefore, I believe that 2022 is a "new era year of chain reform" and an important opportunity period.
From a policy point of view, in recent years, China’s supportive policies in the blockchain field have continued to increase, and it has reached the time window when policies must be implemented. Previously, on October 24, 2019, the blockchain rose to a national strategy. In 2020, the blockchain was incorporated into new infrastructure. In March 2021, the outline of the "14th Five-Year Plan" was released, and "blockchain" was included in the key industries of digital economy. In June of the same year, the National Network Information Office and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology put forward the blockchain guidance of "building famous enterprises, famous products and famous gardens".
A few days ago, the State Council released the "Tenth Five-Year Plan for Digital Economy Development", which systematically put forward the application layout of blockchain in technology, engineering and finance. For example, in terms of the data Silk Road, it is proposed to build a trusted service network and application support platform based on blockchain to provide a basic guarantee for extensive digital economic cooperation; In cultivating the data element market, it is proposed to use blockchain as the technical bottom.
It can be said that the policy support is getting stronger and stronger, the connotation is getting deeper and deeper, and the scope is expanding. This provides a solid policy support for promoting the chain reform 3.0 action.
In addition, the number of patent applications for blockchain in China has been leading the world for many years, and blockchain enterprises and projects have been brewing for many years, including many excellent products. Quantitative change to qualitative change, and the accumulation of chain reform and landing application projects has also reached the point of large-scale outbreak.
Reporter: What important role does the "chain reform action" play in the digital economy?
Zhu Youping: Chain reform is an important support for realizing the digital economy. With the application of chain reform, chain reform will promote the digital transformation of economy and society.
Digital economy is an advanced form after agricultural economy and industrial economy, and it is the future direction and the choice of the times. At present, the agricultural economy and industrial economy have fully developed. Under the background of economic downturn and COVID-19 epidemic, we need to tap new growth points and growth momentum in the future.
Different from the traditional economic models of old infrastructure, offline finance, centralized organization and inefficient public services, the digital economy represented by blockchain and artificial intelligence, with brand-new wealth logic and business model, realizes digital industrialization and industrial digitalization, and is emitting huge economic growth momentum.
In the future, there will be huge wealth space in many fields, such as science and technology innovation, cultural innovation, big health, new energy, enterprise digital assets, personal IP, land, financial technology, and upgrading of industrial and agricultural products, all of which need to be empowered through digitalization and chain reform.
Chain reform realizes enterprise digitalization and empowers the real economy through the technical, financial and organizational attributes of digital technologies such as blockchain, and is a century-old new wealth solution. The digital economy has developed from Internet economy 1.0 to blockchain economy 2.0.
Next-generation information technologies such as artificial intelligence, blockchain, big data, Internet of Things, satellites, and 5G have accumulated a large number of technological achievements and have reached the stage of large-scale application. Foreign hot spots such as digital currency, DeFi, NFT, Metauniverse, DAO and Web3 are constantly deducing and full of vitality. All of these indicate that the digital economy is in the explosive period of large-scale development.
Reporter: From what aspects should we embrace the chain reform?
Zhu Youping: Chain reform is available to all industries, all enterprises and all people. It has powerful functions in finance, government affairs, social governance, smart cities and foreign cooperation. Regarding the embrace of chain reform, I have summarized the following ten major directions:
First, financial technology: the deepening application of blockchain and other technologies in banking, securities, insurance and other fields, and the application of digital RMB in finance and various industries have great imagination.
The second is chain merchants: upgrading e-commerce with distributed account books and smart contracts can create a real goods market, which is an e-commerce 2.0 form.
Third, distributed commerce: upgrade chain operation with DAO, distribute income with bookkeeping certificate, and create a fair and objective incentive mechanism.
Fourth, digital content creation: from Web1 readable and Web2 interactive, upgrade to Web3 available, and provide a platform for content creation.
Fifth, digital identity: using zero-knowledge proof, ring signature, asymmetric encryption and other technologies to realize the identity card under the protection of personal privacy.
Sixth, supply chain finance: establish an optimized and iterative financing channel with credit points to solve the difficult and expensive financing problem.
Seventh, product traceability: from counterfeiting to quality economy, it is especially suitable for food and medicine, which can greatly simplify testing and provide assured products.
Eighth, digital collections: China’s existing institutions have begun to try to issue digital collections in the primary market. Digital collections are connected to the secondary document exchange market with financial transaction license and auction license, which is an innovative application worth exploring.
The ninth is the trading market: using distributed account books and smart contracts as the underlying support technology for carbon sinks, data and equity trading systems.
The tenth is the data silk road: building a trusted service network and application support platform based on blockchain to provide basic guarantee for extensive foreign cooperation in the digital economy.
Reporter: What do you think of the recent conceptual fire in the meta-universe?
Zhu Youping: I think the universe is also a huge application scenario of chain reform. There are three main supporting technologies in the meta-universe: one is VR/AR, which Qian Xuesen called spiritual realm; The second is digital twinning, which is the use of virtual digital avatars; The third is the blockchain, which is the economic system of the meta-universe. At present, the Metauniverse has developed into three schools: stock speculation, currency speculation and empowerment entity school. The chain reform we propose is to be an empowering entity school instead of a coin-speculating school.
